chanter .... the bible has some genuine spiritual stance and also some distortions..... and also ..... words are very clumsy ... susceptible to misinterpretation and manipulations ....... therefore discernment is a necessary quality when reading anything and at the end of the dey, u are ur own decider for what is ur truth and what is not .....

on jesus ..... his story was passed on by the vehicle of word of mouth for about 300 years as the earliest scriptures of new testament date back to 300 AD if my memory serves me right .... so u can decide for urself if a story floating around by word of mouth for about 300 years before it was put into writing can keep its initial completeness or storyline to a tee without any distortions, additions and subtractions....
